In Webmin on FreeBSD, we have an issue where logfiles cannot be compressed upon rotating logs..
Yeah it's strange indedd. I upgraded to Webmin 1.870 and the same thing is occurring when trying to compress the old logfiles. Below is the output.
Forcing the immediate rotation of all log files ..
error: failed to compress log /var/log/archived/maillog/maillog.1 (more files try to parse showing the same 'failed to compress' error)
.. failed! See the output above for the reason why.
That's all I get. If I have compression disabled everything seems to go ok rotating logs.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Do you have the
gzipcommand on your system?Indeed I do.
/usr/ports/sysutils/webmin# whereis gzip
gzip: /usr/bin/gzip /usr/share/man/man1/gzip.1.gz /usr/src/usr.bin/gzip
Indeed! Below is the location.
/usr/ports/sysutils/webmin# whereis gzipgzip: /usr/bin/gzip /usr/share/man/man1/gzip.1.gz /usr/src/usr.bin/gzip
Do you have the gzip command on your system?

If you SSH in as root and run
logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.confwhat does it output?logrotate -f /usr/local/etc/logrotate.conf shows no output. No errors.
That's odd, because that's the same command Webmin runs! If you re-try forcing log rotation in the UI, do you still get the same error message?

Is your system perhaps low on RAM?
Negative. RAM is sufficient. It only does it the moment I enable old log file compression and memory doesn't even come close to maxing out.
Can you post the
/etc/webmin/logrotate/configfile from your system?
